LaunchPad Jamf Admin Podcast

Platform SSO is changing how authentication works on macOS by integrating identity providers directly into the operating system. Adam Derrick (Solutions Engineer, Jamf) breaks down what Platform SSO is, how it works, and why it matters for modern Apple device management. What You'll Learn: What Platform SSO is (and what it is not); How it changes the authentication flow on macOS; Practical admin considerations for testing and rollout.   Resources and links:https://rocketman.tech/lr-pb Upcoming meetups:https://rocketman.tech/lp-pb Also on YouTube:https://rocketman.tech/ly-pb
